This is probably fine as long as the code is acting on local resources. The moment you have vibe coded software interacting with shared state or database the risk increases exponentially and all it takes to have a bad day is a poorly worded prompt from one of those users.

Some oversight by humans or automated guardrails will probably reduce those instances.

You forgot to add "you are an expert software engineer with PhD level architecture insights".

haha..After all "prompt engineering" is the mystic art of magecraft that uses forbidden incantations to summon the souls of special experts and make them possess our computers to do our bidding.

Sometimes watered down though. When I summon the soul of Linus, he is nowhere near as scathing or biting as the original :)
